We are busy decorating the Christmas tree, making preparations for the holidays. But I have a very quick tip for you.
[Note: all these tips work in Excel 2007 or above]
Whenever you are working with huge lists of data, filtering & sorting is one simple way to analyze the data quickly.
You can quickly filter your data based on current cell’s value by right clicking and then selecting filter > filter by selected cell’s value.
Bonus tips on Filters:
- You can even filter by selected cell’s color, font or conditional formatting icon.
- You can also sort a list by selected cell’s column in either ascending or descending order.
- You can instantly turn on / off filters by pressing CTRL+SHIFT+L

Maybe I missed it, but this method doesn't include data from James that isn't contained in Sara's data.
I added a new sheet, and named the ranges for Sara and James.
Maybe something like:
B2: =SORT(UNIQUE(VSTACK(SaraCust, JamesCust)))
C2: =XLOOKUP(B2#,SaraCust,SaraPaid,"Missing")
D2: =XLOOKUP(B2#,JamesCust, JamesPaid,"Missing")
E2: =IF(ISERROR(C2#+D2#),"Missing",IF(C2#=D2#,"Yes","No"))
Then we can still do similar conditional formatting. But this will pull in data missing from Sara's sheet as well.
